A Drunkard's Theory of Drunkenness.


Freedom from restraint is q bad
thing for man who drinks to excess.
I have been in the Washingtonian
Home in Chicago for three months at
time, and came out feeling we'll, with
my head clear, and strong determine
ton not to taste liquor again. One
curious thing which I can not explain
to my own satisfaction is that while
in the home, after the first week, I
seemed to have no desire for intoxi-
cants at all, but the very next morning
after 1 was at liberty, though had not
been near saloon, nor been in any
way brought in contact with liquor, yet
the old feeling of "goneness" in the
stomach and an intense desire for
something to "brace up" on returned
with almost irresistible force. I wish
[ could account for it; for in every
other respect I felt just as we'll as
when confined in the institution. I
have tried drinking coffee, have taken
various specifics, and kept tobacco,
gum, and different kinds of herbs and
roots in my mouth; but all in vain. I
can not conquer the intense desire for
iauor which has blasted my life and
made my once happy home scene of
wretchedness and misery. My only
safety seems to be in being locked up.
Whom I once taste whisky or beer then
nothing can keep me from getting
drunk, and sooner than 90 without q
drink I would part with the clothes on
my back. The feeling OF weakness of

Our advantage in the power of sslf-

Our advantage in the power of ssff-
control does not release us from the
obligation to bring the power of our
example to bear on those who can only
be saved by total abstinence.
1--WE must not forget that drinking
man has never yet been saved by the
prescription Of moderation. In all
cases in which success is attained, it is
attained solely by the conviction that
the only possible salvation is by avoid
ing the first glass. And the drunken
ness of nation cannot be cured in any
other way than that of m individual.
~Those who believe themselves called
to educate nation, ought in the first
place to begin with themselves. It 10
the duty of the educated, the proper
tied, the dominant class, to act above
all by their example Thus, and only
thus, will the right be gained to pro-
coed against the drunkenness of the
masses by legislation. As long as you
only propose to take away the poor
mans brandy, and will not give up
your own wine, nobody will believe in
the disinterestedness of your endeav-
ors."
In closing, he says:
"Finally, we must acknowledge that
there is nothing to prevent the gradual
complete abolition of all alcoholic bev-
erages, except selfshness. But this
selfshness will not win the day. Soon
or or later unselfishness must be VIC
torious; they must conquer who are de-
termined to make the completest sacri
fee. This is the teaching of all the
worlds history. Let this consolation
sustain us amid all the failures of life.
Let this be the source of our strength,
nerving us to endure in the conflict.
The victory is ours"

Judge Agnew on Compensation.

Judge Agnew, Of Pennsylvania, in
letter on the subject of liquor compen-
sation, writes:
II am personally opposed to COM
pensation clause. When canals super
seeded turnpikes, and railroads super
seeded canals, and hotels, warehouses,
and other places of business on their
routes We're destroyed, no compensation
has ever been made. When inventions
and new modes of business have de-
stroyed old trades and modes, compen-
sation was not made. When curse is
destroyed it is difficult to perceive the
justice of society's paving for it."

DAVIS AUTHORIZATION LETTER.
He Writes in Opposition to Prohibition in
Texae-Answered by Reagan.
Hort Vor41, fTov , s,ac{o11


Fort Worth (Tex) specially
Great surprise was created through
out Texas on the occasion of the anti
prohibition State barbecue here last
week, when long letter was read from
Jefferson Davis coming out strongly
against the proposed amendment. The
Gazette prints letter from Senator
John Reagan, the exp ostmaster Cen
eral of the Confederacy, in reply to
Jefferson Davis. The Senator says:
II write not to complain, but to ex-
press my surprise and sorrow on &C.
count of the letter you wrote our good
friend, Gov. Lubbock, in opposition to
the adoption of the proposed amend
ment to our State Constitution to pro-
hibit the manufacture, sale, and e1-
change of intoxicating liquors except
for mechanical, medical, scientific, and
sacramental purposes. Texas has never
been SO profoundly stirred up on
question before within my memory,
The amendment is sustained by many
of the ablest, best and most trusted
Democrats of the State, such as ex-
Senator Maxey, Mr.. Culberson, Mr..
Lanham, and Judge Hare, Democratic
members-elect to Congress, and Col.
Miller, Democratic member of the
last Congress. It is sustained by two
thirds of the newspapers of Texas, by
probably ninety-nine in every 100 of
the women of the State, and it will, in
my opinion, be voted for by more than
loo, 900 white Democrats of the State.
am sure that tens of thousands of
your truest and best friends are grieved
and panied by your letter. We believed
we could carry the State against the
combined influence and efforts of the
manufacturers of whisky and beer, the
Liquor-Dealers' Associations of st,
Louis, Chicago, Louisville, CINCINNATI,
New York, Philadelphia, and else
where, and against the use of the vast
sums of money they have sent to Texas
to employ and pay speakers, suborn
the newspapers, and corrupt the
ballot and debauch our people.
We believed we could carry it.
against the saloonkeepers, profess
sional politicians, and number of
good men like our friend Gov. Lub-
book. But the talismanic power of
your great name is now being paraded
against prohibition, and your letter is
being read and applauded by every
saloon-keeper and dram-drinker in
Texas to-day. 1t will cost a cause
which many of us deem of the greatest
Importance many thousands of votes,
and We fear may defeat the amendment
and give the Endorsement of the people
to the liquor traffic, with the griefs,
sorrows. and crimes which go with it.
You object to this amendment because
the world is governed too much"
The Senator proceeds at length to
answer Davis personal liberty" argu-
ment, and closes, after assuring the en-
President Of the Confederacy of his
friendship, as follows: GA sense of
public duty compels me, regretfully,
indeed, to advise you that I shall a1-
thorize the publication of this letter in
vindication to this limited extent of my
own views and of the views of thou
sands of good people of Texas who
think as I do on this question"

A VERY significant sign of the times
is the emphasize condemnation of beer
which has recently come to us from
the distinguished German Professor
Bunge, Of the University of Basic.
He says: People are Mortified il a
man is made into q thief or 9 mur-
derer by brandy drinking; but they
are completely cold and indifferent to
the fact that thousands become stupe-
fed, imbeoile, and ragged by beer
drinking. That does not at al dis
turb our philistine in his selfish
compaacency." He adds, speaking of
Germany and Switzerland: Beer is
really the most mischievous among al
coholic beverages. for the very reason
that no other is SO seductive. Brandy
drinking is disgrace in all classes Of
society; the intellectual elite of our
nation glory in their immoderate beer
drinking" To have beer thus de-
nounced, from the German point of
view, and by, a learned professor so
eminently we'll qualified as distin-
guished scientist to speak intellieentlv,
as "the most mischievous among aIco-
holic beverages, is indeed very re-
freshing !-Ndti01aal temperance Id

the spread Of the Prohibition sentiment
In the call they say "Tf\de Is placed
in such position that VI must fight

inaugurated by the liquor dstiilars and
dealers in other parts of To country.

Several other States, however, wllvote
upon the same question this fall, md II
there is to be liquor fight made il
every one the assessments will have to-
be frequent and heavy. Almost for
the first time the liquor interest is now
thoroughly awake to the danger which
threatens it. 1t has relied SO long, and
with so much reason, upon the power
of the saloon in politics, that it could
not at first believe there was any posi-
bility of popular temperance upris-
ing Formidable enough to demand
special measures. Now, however, the
extent and depth of the reform agita-
ton cannot be ignored, and so there is
general marshaling of the liquor
forces and preparation for the great
coming battle of Armegeddon.
The liquor interest will tind when it
comes to analyze the situation closely
that though it may have become neces-
sary to sight or de-" there is nothing
like certainty that any amount of fight
ing possible will avert the necessity of
dying, so far as the liquor traffic is con-
cerned. The American people are slow
to move, slow to relinquish their pet
foibles, slow to make up their minds to
great changes, even where sucn changes
mean great reforms. Their conserva-
tism involves respect for vested rights
SO strong that sometimes they make the
mistake of extending protection to
vested wrongs. But this condition is
not lasting. When they do realize the
seriousness of the situation, when they
do comprehend the righteousness of
the course urged upon them, they are
ready for any sacrifice, and too united
for any opposition. The temperance
movement has grown slowly until quite
recently, but it is becoming wave
more than stream of tendency to-day,
and it is flashing here and there with
the mysterious celebrity which has
marked the operation Of the sbazaar
telegraph in India during the mutiny.
At such times community sensibility
rises to strange heights, and popular
determination assumes q formidable
aspect In view of the existing tend
ency, it may well be doubted whether
the liquor interest can do itself much
good by the only kind of fighting with
in its power; whether indeed any vic
tories SO obtained are not certain to
stimulate the temperance advance and
SO hasten the end.-NeaD York Irib-
